We were supposed to stay at the Figueira hotel, but they overbooked the hotel and didn't notify us until we got there that they moved us to another hotel entirely. This was their sister property, the Madalena. Overall, the Madalena was nice, but had a number of quirks and oddities that made it somewhat of a letdown.
Pros:
- Staff was nice and helpful
- Hotel aesthetic was quirky and fun
- The hotel location was fantastic as it was right downtown near many things to do
Cons:
- The biggest con by far was the bathroom in the room, or lack thereof. There is no separate bathroom in the room, rather just an individually gated toilet and shower that are in the hallway when entering the room. This made them awkward to use. Using the shower meant leaving water in the main hallway afterwards, making the floor wet and slippery. We also had to put the bathmat IN the shower because of how slippery the floor was. The toilet didn't have a fan or separate room so everything was audible (and smellible) to the main living area, if you catch my drift. The TV had to be turned on to attempt to mute sounds. Overall, the bathroom experience was very strange and awkward.
- The breakfast was subpar compared to other 4 star hotels we stayed in in Portugal. Not many hot breakfast items (eg pancakes, waffles, eggs) and certain things weren't labeled. (Meats, Cheeses, which milk was which, etc.) Not awful, but not outstanding.
